Charging the circuit breaker

The charge status is indicated as follows.


DB106442

The springs in the circuit breaker operating mechanism must be charged to store the energy required to close the main contacts. The springs may be charged manually using the charging handle or automatically by the optional MCH gear motor.

Manual charging: Pull the handle down seven times until you hear a "clack".
E51347A E46790A

Automatic charging: If the MCH gear motor is installed, the spring is automatically recharged after each closing.

Closing (i.e. turning the circuit ON) is possible only if the circuit breaker is "ready to close". The prerequisites are the following: b device open (OFF) b springs charged b no opening order present. The circuit breaker will not close unless it is "ready to close" when the order is given.

Closing the circuit breaker


Locally (mechanical) Press the mechanical ON pushbutton.

Press the electrical closing pushbutton. By adding an XF closing release, the circuit breaker can be closed locally.

Remotely
XF
DB119751 E51294A

When connected to a remote control panel, the XF closing release can be used to close the circuit breaker remotely.

Anti-pumping function

The purpose of the mechanical anti-pumping function is to ensure that a circuit breaker receiving simultaneous opening and closing orders does not open and close indefinitely. If there is a continuous closing order, after opening the circuit breaker remains open until the closing order is discontinued. A new closing order is required to close the circuit breaker. A new order is not required if the closing release is wired in series with the PF "ready to close" contact.

Inspecting and testing before use

Initial tests
Procedure

These operations must be carried out in particular before using a Masterpact device for the first time.

DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION ORARC FLASH HAZARD b This equipment must be installed and serviced only by qualified electrical personnel. b Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside equipment. b Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off. b Replace all devices, doors and covers before turning on power to this equipment. Failure to follow these instructions will result indeath, serious injury or equipment damage.

A general check of the circuit breaker takes only a few minutes and avoids any risk of mistakes due to errors or negligence. A general check must be carried out: b prior to initial use b following an extended period during which the circuit breaker is not used. A check must be carried out with the entire switchboard de-energised. In switchboards with compartments, only those compartments that may be accessed by the operators must be de-energised.

Electrical tests

Insulation and dielectric-withstand tests must be carried out immediately after delivery of the switchboard. These tests are precisely defined by international standards and must be directed and carried out by a qualified expert. Prior to running the tests, it is absolutely necessary to: b disconnect all the electrical auxiliaries of the circuit breaker (MCH, MX, XF, MN, Res electrical remote reset) b remove the long-time rating plug on the 7.0 A, 5.0 P, 6.0 P, 7.0 P, 5.0 H, 6.0 H, 7.0 H control units. Removal of the rating plug disconnects the voltage measurement input.

Switchboard inspection

Check that the circuit breakers are installed in a clean environment, free of any installation scrap or items (tools, electrical wires, broken parts or shreds, metal objects, etc.).

Conformity with the installation diagram

Check that the devices conform with the installation diagram: b breaking capacities indicated on the rating plates b identification of the control unit (type, rating) b presence of any optional functions (remote ON/OFF with motor mechanism, auxiliaries, measurement and indication modules, etc.) b protection settings (long time, short time, instantaneous, earth fault) b identification of the protected circuit marked on the front of each circuit breaker.

Condition of connections and auxiliaries

Check device mounting in the switchboard and the tightness of power connections. Check that all auxiliaries and accessories are correctly installed: b electrical auxiliaries b terminal blocks b connections of auxiliary circuits.

Operation

Check the mechanical operation of the circuit breakers: b opening of contacts b closing of contacts.

Check on the control unit

Check the control unit of each circuit breaker using the respective user manuals.

What to do when the circuit breaker trips?


Note the fault

DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION ORARC FLASH HAZARD b This equipment must be installed and serviced only by qualified electrical personnel. b Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside equipment. b Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off. b Replace all devices, doors and covers before turning on power to this equipment. Failure to follow these instructions will result indeath, serious injury or equipment damage.

Faults are signalled locally and remotely by the indicators and auxiliary contacts installed on circuit breakers (depending on each configuration). See from page 34 in this manual and the user manual of the control unit for information on the fault indications available with your circuit breaker.

Identify the cause of tripping

A circuit must never be reclosed (locally or remotely) before the cause of the fault has been identified and cleared. A fault may have a number of causes: b depending on the type of control unit, fault diagnostics are available. See the user manual for the control unit. b depending on the type of fault and the criticality of the loads, a number of precautionary measures must be taken, in particular the insulation and dielectric tests on a part of or the entire installation. These checks and test must be directed and carried out by qualified personnel.

Inspect the circuit breaker following a short-circuit


b b b b Check the arc chutes: see page 46 Check the contacts: see page 46 Check the tightness of connections: see the device installation manual Check the disconnecting-contact clusters: see page 46.

Reset the circuit breaker

The circuit breaker can be reset locally or remotely. See page 10 in this manual for information on how the circuit breaker can be reset.

Wear of main contacts

b Remove the arc chutes b Visually check the contacts If necessary, contact Schneider Electric After-sales support.

Disconnecting-contact clusters

b Grease the contacts using the grease recommended on page 48 b Check the contacts as follows: v open the circuit breaker v de-energise the busbars v disconnect the circuit breaker v remove the circuit breaker v check the contact fingers (no sign of copper should be visible).
